Emmy Award-winning andNew York Timesbestselling writer, comedian, and actorBob Odenkirk and his daughter, illustrator Erin Odenkirk, present poetic nonsense for all agesperfect for fans of Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky!

Bob Odenkirk began writing these poems with his children when they were little, compiling the poetry into a homemade book entitledOlde Time Rhymes. He wanted Nate and Erin to understand that actual people had written the books the family loved to read and to instill in them the feeling that they could be writers and illustrators themselves.Almost twenty years later, when the Odenkirks found themselves quarantined under the same roof, they revisited these mostly silly, sometimes poignant works.It wasn’t until Erin began to create illustrations to accompany the words, though,thatthe book grew to be something much bigger than an Odenkirkfamily treasure.

From the titularmade-up word for a blanketfort, an adorable dog with a penchant for the zoomies, and a father teaching his kids how umbrellas work, the subjects of these works, complemented by Erins whimsical and detailed linework, come alive on these pages.Featuring over seventy poems,Zilot & Other Important Rhymes will delight readers young and old.
